    OK so I don't post on here much, but I used to back years ago when this first started. now I own a shop and am just too busy. but that been said I now want some opinions on my new project.
    I have a few sets of Lincoln push buttons and paid out the nose for them, so my machinist and I have come up with a way to reproduce these buttons out of 301 stainless and line the insides with Teflon they are slick and look like the real deal. we cant make them very fast but can offer them at a reasonable price. so what do you think.

    I will post pics and a set price soon. right now we are thinking of $120 to $140 range but they will be better than originals in function, because of the Teflon lining. crap I paid $285 for a ok set, and thats when we sat down to figure out how to do this so people could afford them, plus they are rare and hard to find.

    Just bought a perfect pair off of eBay about two weeks ago. But could always use another. A friend looked at them when we talked about reppoping them... I'm in for a set or two.

    someone already repops them, but they're hard to find, so if you can do it, and market them, you may do well

    Give us a couple of weeks to work out some bugs, we are trying to build them so you can take them apart and service them, like say if the spring cocks or breaks, the lincolns if that happens you are out of luck. and we are working on a more friendly rear mount, instead of a single set screw. stay calm and we will post when we have some pics.:)

    I'm interested too! Keep us posted and I too like the idea of a more generic mounting style.
